Industrial Gum Boots, Black

Industrial gum boots in black, moulded as one piece with a calf-height shaft and a plain pull-on fit. The supplier lists them under its industrial line, and they arrive as you would expect from that description: unlined black, no trim, nothing on the outside to snag or stain. They hose down clean at the end of a shift.

These are the boots that go out with wet work. Concrete pours and slab curing, drainage and manhole crews, car washes, abattoirs and fish handling, flower farms and greenhouse beds, quarry floors after rain. Contractors buy them as a size run to kit out casual labour, while farms, schools and county works crews restock the common middle sizes.

Six sizes are stocked, No 5 through No 10, and they are sold by the pair. The middle sizes move fastest, so order a spread rather than a flat count of one size. The supplier does not publish a standard or certification for these boots, so if your site or your client requires certified safety footwear, confirm the certification you need before you place the order.
